Erm, okay, you need to lay off the happy pills.

I want to believe inside M.A. Larson

oh comon now !!

@MagnificentTrixie  
Um, yes. Yes it does.

No, I don’t believe in him. I’m an M. A. Larson atheist; I believe that “Swarm of the Century” got to be on the air through random mutation and natural selection.

I can believe in the writers all I want, but there’s always the chance that the executive meddling will damage the show – and there will be times when the damage is too much to overcome it with good writing.
 
For some reason, Homicide: Life on the Street comes to mind.
 
Yeah, I’m old… =/

Even if it’s the worst episode of FiM ever, it will still be above average.

One of the best things about the show circa Lauren Faust was a sense of balance. There were two ailecorns, one for day and one for night, who each embodied all three pony races The Mane Six had a tomboy and girly pony for each pony race. The CMC had one of each. I could go on.
 
Decisions like turning Cadence and Twilight ailecorns, or denying the earth pony aspects of the Royal Pony Sisters, spit in the face of a carefully balanced mythos. I can completely understand why Lauren stopped watching the show before she could see her vision perverted by the forces of marketing.

I don’t accept the assumed premise you tried to sneak in that a talented writer can pull off anything whatsoever. No matter how good a writer is, some things are just terrible ideas.
 
Larson may do his best to polish the turd he’s been handed, but a shiny turd is still a turd.

YES!!!! IF anyone can make this work, he can!

How can you say “It’s About Time” is bad. I mean yeah, okay, opinions and all that, but really, it was a pretty well done Twilight-centric episode.

@Lium  
Magic Duel is indeed shit, but I would say “It’s About Time” was almost as bad.
 
The guy is just too much of a friggin’ nerd for me to handle, I’m sorry.

@gg666  
please tell me why that’s supposed to be funny

my least favorite writer, i’m dreading the season finale

I do.
 
Seriously, change isn’t bad. This might be the best episode ever.
 
Stop being so negative, jeez. Remember:
 
“Friendship is Magic.”

I believe…

No, it’s a metaphor for “You’re hiding behind an anonymous account because you are secretly ashamed of your opinion”.

*How to LEARN to wait

@Background Pony  
No it’s a metaphor for “You’re an idiot who needs how to wait before jumping to conclusions.”

@MagnificentTrixie  
Nope, it’s a metaphor for “bug your parents into buying our new princess Twilight toy!”

@Takashi.0
 
Of course not, bronies are all chickenshits.

@MagnificentTrixie
 
No it doesn’t, but do you really expect any of these overreacting dipshits to think about that, let alone give it a chance?
